With the newly posted question regarding SalesForce I thought I would dredge up this conversation from late 2016 that discussed both CiviCRM as well as Vtracklery. I for one am interested in hearing more from Matthew at the Recyclerly as to how Vtracklery 2.0 is coming along (if at all) as it seems like a prime solution to meet needs and opportunities that we have at the Bozeman Bike Kitchen.

I will send one fair trade chocolate bar each to two top editors of the bike collectives wiki in the month of February. Anywhere in the world. I will be considering both the (subjective) quality and (objective) quantity of edits made during the month of February. There is a chocolate bar each for: - top editor of anywhere on the wiki found at http://www.bikecollectives. org/wiki/ - top editor of the main page <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page> And for *anyone* who makes their first 3 edits during the month of February 2017, send me an email with your mailing address and I will mail you an old-fangled handwritten note in a thank you card with at least one doodle on it.

Ideas for hanging baskets and racks
by Todd Spinner 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

We are having a big shop cleaning party next week. One of the areas that I would like to see us organize better is our Wald style wire baskets and racks. Do any co-ops have ideas on how to hang them in a DIY manner? Pictures would be great and might help more than just our co-op. Thanks, Todd -- Todd Spinner The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign www.thebikeproject.org
